CAS Simplify(log10) always changes to LN

Every expression I have tried changes the base to LN.

Example: simplify ( log10(2) + log10(6) ) results in (LN(2) + LN(6))/(LN(2) + LN(5))

I am looking to use it as a way to introduce/reinforce the properties of logs.

It does seem to be deficient if not a bug that it simplifies by converting log10 to ln.

Until this is fixed, you can show the log properties more directly if you work in natural logs

Ie simplify(ln(2)+ln(6)) results in ln(12)

It really should be able to do the same for log10 though!
